Educating a globally competitive workforce for the manufacturing industry

The U.S. manufacturing industry is facing many challenges today, including rapidly evolving technologies, offshoring, globalization and a shrinking pool of qualified workers.

According to a recent survey of U.S. Manufacturers by Deloitte LLP and The Manufacturing Institute: 67% reported a moderate to severe shortage of qualified workers, 56% anticipated the shortage to worsen over the next five years, and 600,000 jobs were unfilled due to a lack of qualified candidates.

To help address these challenges University of Phoenix and The Manufacturing Institute are working together to help U.S. manufacturers develop a knowledge-driven and sustainable workforce that can lead this technology-based industry into the future.
